As someone who recently spent a couple days in Kanab, UT the collision course of rural natives with Californian expats has made me accelerate my plans to buy enough land to escape the cities and further enforced my feeling about the cultural divide in America.

EDIT: I was born in a small western town and find myself missing certain aspects living in a larger city working in Tech.

What was it like in Kanab?
Talking with the person checking me into the hotel he mentioned he had heard to food was good at a restaurant across the street but mentioned he couldn't afford to eat there.

There was a lovely older couple who were running the tourism center and provided a bunch of great information. The person in front of me repeatedly interrupted this nice old woman and talked over her, after she got the info she needed she got into a 4 runner with California plates.

The surrounding OHV and hiking trails are phenomenal but the town is going to be very boring once the locals are forced out.
